Unsaid

Write the text to your ex. It never sends.

Unsaid looks and types like a messenger, but nothing you write ever leaves your phone. Write the unsent letter, the 2 a.m. message, the thing you want to tell your boss. Hit send. It stays in the thread, marked kept.

Unsent letters

Open a thread with anyone, your ex, a parent, a friend who moved away, and write what you never said. Threads, bubbles, timestamps, photos and voice notes, like the real thing.

No contact, without breaking it

Text your ex without sending it. The urge gets somewhere to go, and they never see a word. Burn a thread when you are done and it is gone for good.

Rehearse the hard conversation

Draft the raise pitch or the apology until it sounds right. When you are ready, Send for real opens Apple Messages with your words ready, and you press send there.

A private journal that looks like texting

Contact sync notifies nobody, or add people by hand with no contacts access at all. Dark mode for late-night typing.

Free, private by design

Unsaid is free. It has no account, no cloud, no analytics and no networking code, and it never transmits anything on its own. Unsaid Plus is an optional one-time purchase of $3.99, not a subscription: app lock with Face ID or your passcode, and bubble themes (Ocean, Ember, Forest and Graphite). Everything else stays free.
